Evergreen Senior Living

A Vibrant, Welcoming Assisted Living Community in Orland Park

Evergreen Senior Living was built on the belief that senior living should feel like exactly that: living. Conveniently located just off I-80, our community offers a warm, modern environment where seniors find the support they need without sacrificing the independence they’ve earned.

This place is shaped by its people. By the residents who gather on the porch, share meals, and look out for one another. By the families who chose us because they felt something real from the very first visit. And by the team members who pour genuine care into every interaction, every shift, every day.

Evergreen is proudly family-owned, supported by Heritage Operations Group and Michuda Construction, two organizations with decades of experience in senior care and quality community building.

Built Around the Life You've Always Known

When Evergreen Senior Living Orland Park first opened its doors, the goal was simple: create a place where seniors could find real support without giving up the things that make life worth living. That goal has guided every decision we’ve made since.

We have continued to grow, invest, and improve because the people who live here deserve a community that keeps getting better. Our bright gathering spaces invite conversation. Our open porches welcome a good book and a quiet morning. Our backyard patio and firepit bring neighbors together on warm evenings. Every detail was chosen with intention, because this isn’t just where our residents live. It’s home.

Our three essential pillars

The Evergreen Senior Living approach is focused and purposeful.

Physical Well-Being

Through our on-site partnership with Select Rehab, residents access physical, occupational, and speech therapy without leaving campus. Combined with 24-hour caregiver support, medication management, and personalized care plans, we help every resident stay mobile, independent, and confident.

Emotional Well-Being

Our long-tenured staff know residents by name, by story, and by what makes them light up. From a kind word during a hard moment to a shared laugh over Sunday Sundaes, our team shows up in ways that go far beyond a job description. It's the warmth families say made all the difference.

Social Well-Being

From games and outings to fitness programs and group gatherings, our calendar gives residents a reason to get up and get together. With something for every personality and residents helping shape it, the social life here is genuine, consistent, and contagious.

A Tight-Knit Community With a Whole Lot of Warmth

When staff genuinely know the people they care for, everything changes. We are big enough to offer everything you need and small enough to make sure you never feel overlooked. Residents and staff build real relationships. And the result is a community that feels less like a senior living facility and more like a home.

The Strength Behind Our Community

Choosing assisted living is a decision that goes beyond today. Families want to know that as life changes, the right support will be there. At Evergreen Senior Living, that confidence is built into the foundation of everything we do.

Our campus offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, creating a natural continuum of care that means residents never have to leave the community they love. If needs evolve, the transition is familiar, supported, and handled by the same people who already know your loved one by name.

That stability is no accident. Evergreen Senior Living in Orland Park is backed by two trusted organizations: Heritage Operations Group, a respected leader in senior living management with a long track record of compassionate, quality care, and Michuda Construction, a family-owned company with decades of experience building communities that are designed to last. Together, they bring the kind of ownership and oversight that puts people before profit, every single time.
